13th post - not a good week

Apr 23, 2009

I've been sick all week. I missed work on Sunday, as stated in my previous post, but I've also thrown up every day since then, one time while I was at work. If it wasn't for Crystal Light and skim milk I wouldn't be getting any liquids or protein. I feel like I need to start the post-op diet from the beginning again. Maybe I tried too many new foods too soon.

Also, my hair is falling out in clumps and my part is definitely getting wider by the day. I'm glad I started using the Nioxin before the surgery so that I at least know the hair will grow back. I had to switch to Stage 4 of the line because I've passed Stage 3. Maybe the Stage 4 shampoo will help. I know the reason it's falling out is that I'm not getting enough protein but when I try to add more to my diet I get sick. Even the Atkins shakes are making me noxious, at best. Tonight it's what made me start puking in the first place. I don't like loading up on skim milk because of the carbs but I've got to get in some protein somehow.

Tomorrow I'm getting my first gum deep cleaning, or whatever it's called. I expect to be in pain so SF popsicles will definitely be on tomorrow's menu.

I'll try to post again tomorrow, depending on how I'm feeling, of course.
